Ingredients
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 0.5 cup almond milk
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.125 tsp black salt (kala namak)
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ripe banana, mashed
- 1 dash ground turmeric
- 2 large slices day-old sourdough bread
- 2 tsp vegan butter
Prepare the Batter
Whisk the cornstarch into the plant milk slowly to prevent clumps. Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, ground cinnamon, mashed banana, and turmeric. Whisk until smooth and uniform.
Soak the Bread
Dip each slice of sturdy day-old bread into the batter, letting it soak for about 15 to 20 seconds per side until well coated but not soggy.
Cook the French Toast
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegan butter. Place the soaked bread in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are caramelized.
Serve with Toppings
Transfer the French toast to plates and top with additional vegan butter, fresh sliced fruit or berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and optional powdered sugar or coconut whipped cream.
